I first brought my daughter to the nursery in 2018 and two years later we are having to leave due to moving out of the area. If I could choose to keep her in for pre school then there would be no hesitation. All of the staff from the baby room and the toddler room and the managers are extremely welcoming,
friendly, approachable and really care about the children! It’s very apparent every morning and evening when I collect my daughter. They have helped with everything when needed! From fussy eating to toilet training to sharing to talking! I will miss the team so much - Thank you for everything!

I really recommend this nursery. Our son has loved it. We have been impressed by the facilities and care our son has had. He had developed really well in the toddler's room. Unfortunately, we only were in Nursery Rhymes Leicester for 4 months and had to move residence.
Excellent nursery. Lovely property
and lovely people!

Nursery Rhymes have been great at helping our young son settle in and making my transition back to work easier for us all. It's already clear to see how much the staff care for him and it's great to see him bonding and building new relationships. He has such fun-packed days with all the activities on
offer and certainly makes the most of the great food too.

We liked the nursery the first time we visited and our child is super happy in there to the point he does not want to leave the nursery when we pick him up.
All the staff are friendly and caring. I would recommend to all my friends and families of nursery.

Nursery Rhymes has been instrumental in enabling and my wife to continue working while bringing up an infant.
They look after the babies like their own.
My infant loves the staff and it certainly puts our mind to ease to know she is happy in the nursery which comes from the care delivered by the
team at nursery rhymes.
Even when we have concerns with the nursery the team are very understanding and implement the necessary changes in a timely manner, taking nothing lightly.
My infant has progressed soo much since coming to nursery.
In addition, the introduction of the online parent portal is great and allows us to keep track of events from the day and to look at photos from fun events.


I have no hesitation in recommending Nursery Rhymes.

Nursery Rhymes is an excellent nursery. My daughter really enjoys going especially now she is in the toddler room. Her learning skills and personality have come on in leaps and bounds. The staff are lovely and very friendly. I feel at complete ease leaving my daughter there. Only downside is I wished
they had more availability for extra days.

My third child is currently at Nursery Rhymes (my older two also attended over a period of 5 years) and I couldn't be more pleased with the time that she's spent there. The staff are lovely and really help to give a homely feel that my daughter is more than happy to run in.


Great improvements have

been made in the toddler room and the garden activities have been expanded/recently invested in.


The garden is also lovely and very secure.

I cannot recommend Nursery Rhymes enough. We knew this was the nursery for us the minute we stepped through the door and we weren’t disappointed upon our daughter starting. In fact, we have been blown away by the care and support given to her. The staff in the baby room are fantastic and take excellent
care of our daughter. She settled in super quick, with little fuss which is a testament to the staff in the baby room. The staff are extremely helpful and will always try to allay any concerns we might have. We also love love love the online parent portal which keeps up updated throughout the day. Thank you for taking such good care of our precious little person.

Nursery Rhymes provides excellent daycare. Our son entered in the toddler room and was made very welcome right from the beginning. Staff are very caring and always make the welfare of the children first priority. The indoor and outdoor facilities are excellent. Our son enjoys spending his day at the
nursery and often is upset when he leaves in the afternoon.

My son started attending this nursery in December 2017. We have been really impressed from the first visit to the nursery. All the staff were very welcoming and genuinely highly engaged with all the children (evident by the happy children all around).
My son’s key nursery nurse has a very calm demeanour
and is doing a great job of helping my son settle in. I feel at ease and confident that he is in a homely loving environment
My husband and I are very happy with all aspects of the nursery and would struggle to fault it. Parent portal is especially fantastic and updated in a timely manner which is great.
Keep up the superb work.

My daughter started here when she turned one and it did take her a while to settle in but with the love and care of her key worker she now enjoys here time at nursery. We have seen a huge improvement in her development and she always comes home each day having learnt something new. We are looking froward
to our son joining the nursery later this year. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.952 for Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is calculated as follows: ( (460 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 480 Ratings = 4.952

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is based on 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 40 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
